Unhinged goes live to air! The fans are cheering wild!
George Sullivan: Good evening everyone! We are live from Osaka, Japan!
Sara Butler: And these Japanese fans are electric tonight!
Harley Meisner: They sound very excited to have ICW Unhinged right here in their home of Osaka!
Sara Butler: I’ve ate so much rice these past 2 days, you guys have no idea! It was so good!
___________________________________________
(Backstage we see ICW owner James Gibbs in a meeting with many of the ICW superstars on the roster and he has an announcement to make.)
James Gibbs: I have an announcement and it is regarding this ridiculous war against the SFT federation. I’m here to tell you that this war stops as of right now!
James Gibbs: No more invasions on their turf. No more back and forth fighting. I’m sick of it and it’s completely meaningless!
(Women's champion Nakano speaks up.)
Nakano: But won’t this make us look weak???
Jams Gibbs: I really don’t care what SFT thinks about us, and no this won’t make us look weak at all. In fact, just the opposite. This will show that we are the better federation and that SFT is not even worthy of our time and effort to go into some half assed war with them. And for the record, THEY are the ones who wanted the Bad Abundance pay per view to happen. They wanted it a hell of a lot more than we did.
(Robert Saints gives his opinion.)
Robert Saints: I agree with James on this one. SFT is a waste of our time. They’re a bunch of losers anyway.
James Gibbs: There will be no Bad Abundance show. So like I just said, no more invasions on SFT. It’s over! Done! Finished!
(The superstars in attendance walk out of the meeting and many are voicing their support for James Gibbs on their way out.)

Frenzy & Whitmer vs TJ &??
#1 Contendership For The World Tag Team Championship
As Frenzy and Whitmer are already in the ring The stage fills with white smoke as "Demi-Gods" By Lab-Rats and Slim J play over the PA system and as the white smoke fills the stage, TJ Alexander steps in the white smoke and kneels before leaping out of the white smoke and heads towards the ring, he climbs the turnbuckle from the apron poses for a few seconds and climbs in the ring and then back on the turnbuckle again to taunt the fans.
TJ keeps saying "I've brought someone dark to fight you!"
Penance by Device plays as strobes of white and red lights flash over the stage as The Enforcer walks out wearing a torn brown leather trench coat!!!
Sara Butler: ENFORCER IS BACK!!
George Sullivan: I would never have guessed he was the mystery partner!
Enforcer looks around as the crowd begins to hold up their lighters lit as the strobes of light continue as he walks to the ring with a purpose and takes off the trench coat and runs up the ring steps and stands on the apron with his arms opening as if he is embracing the crowd's reaction good or bad and enters the ring and spins around in the center of the ring and falls to his knees and opens his arms again and just stares with his eyes staring a hole in his opponent and slowly stands and waits for the match to begin.
The crowd erupts as The Enforcer has returned to ICW!
Frenzy and Whitmer are not impressed but Enforcer insists to TJ that he wants to start the match.
Whitmer says "Ok old man, you want it I'm going to hurt you!"
The referee calls for the match to begin!
Whitmer taunts The Enforcer several times before Enforcer seems to go into a trance and rolls his eyes then runs at Whitmer and hits a flying running lariat and quickly whips him into a corner and runs at him with full speed and hits a Shoulder tackle into the mid-section then unleashes hell with a fury of lefts rights and an elbow to the face and makes the referee walk away with a look on his face no one in ICW has ever seen!
The crowd is in awe of the speed The Enforcer is moving as he quickly whips Whitmer into the ropes and on the rebound hits a pop-up St. Louis Stunner!
He then taunts a downed Whitmer on his knees "Old Man no more... but I'm now a New Living being I am The Heart of Darkness!"
The Enforcer then lifts Whitmer up to his feet and attempts a Chokeslam, but Whitmer pokes him in the eye and quickly tags in Frenzy who scoop slams Enforcer on the mat then hits a spinning elbow drop springboard style off the ropes and goes for a pin!
1......!
The Enforcer kicks out!
Harley Meisner: Enforcer saves the match!
Frenzy stunned thinking he's winded The Enforcer gets a look of fear on his face as The Enforcer sits up and grabs him by the throat and hits a Chokeslam!
Enforcer then whips Frenzy into his team's corner and tags in TJ who hits a clothesline repeatedly on Frenzy who falls to the mat!
TJ then lifts up Frenzy and hits an Overhead Belly-to-Belly making Frenzy land onto the mat hard and tags Whitmer back in who hits a running Shoulder tackle. After knocking TJ to the mat Whitmer then lifts him up and hits a Belly 2 Belly throw that lands TJ into his Team's corner and The Enforcer tags himself in as the two men stare each other down until Whitmer tries to punch The Enforcer only for him to catch his hand and head butts him!
Sara Butler: what a match so far!
The Enforcer then follows that up with another Flying Lariat into an armbar and goes for a familiar move by another legend and hits "Old School"!
Whitmer holds his arm while down on the mat questioning on who this Enforcer is as he is able to take such a huge man like him down so quickly!
He gets up and hits a Spear of his own on Enforcer who no sells it and sits up laughing!
Whitmer then lifts The Enforcer and hits F-Bomb!
He then quickly tags in Frenzy and the two begin to double team The Enforcer in the corner after dragging him and takes turns elbowing him and shoulder tackling him in the corner until TJ has had enough and dropkicks Whitmer out of the ring and they fight all the way into the crowd.
Now Frenzy and Enforcer are the two legal men of the match.
Frenzy slaps The Enforcer who just laughs and knees Frenzy in the gut and Chokeslams him in the middle of the ring!
Enforcer then attempts a Northern Lights Suplex but Frenzy gets out of it and hits Last Remarks!
1....
2....
Kickout!
George Sullivan: Mark Frenzy is looking impressive here tonight.
Harley Meisner: I agree with you George.
Frenzy has a "Holy shit" look on his face and goes to hit it again as Whitmer joins in as Frenzy hits Last Remarks and then lifts him up and pushes him into the F-Bomb by Whitmer who sees TJ trying to enter the ring but Whitmer spears him out of the rinng and holds him from getting back into the ring.
The Enforcer sits up again and goes for the Tombstone but Frenzy reverses it into Last Remarks!
He covers Enforcer again!
1....
2....
No!
2 and a half!
The Enforcer has his shoulder up and while laughing on his knees begs Frenzy to try finishing him.
Whitmer then slams TJ against the steps and enters the ring again as the two begin to beat on The Enforcer, but he won't stay down until Whitmer hits the F0-Bomb from the top rope and he tries to sit up but can't and Frenzy orders Whitmer to hold TJ and make him watch as he hits Last Remarks again!
He hooks The Enforcer's leg!
1......
2......
3!!!
Rick Henderson: Here are your winners "Remarkable Mark Frenzy and Fredrick "The Funk" Whitmer!
Whitmer and Frenzy are celebrating up the ramp when TJ goes to check on his partner who sits p and laughs and asks for a microphone...
The Enforcer: "If that's all you two fairies have then don't be wishing that I'll go away anytime soon... Because as I have said I am The Heart of Darkness and long as this heart beats I will continue to fight the machine of ICW until I ascend to My rightful throne. Oh, and don't you two worry Me and TJ will see you two weak souls again very soon!"
The Enforcer shakes TJ's hand, and the lights go out as he disappears as TJ nods his head.

((The camera flickers to life before we get a view of Captain Freedom on the floor of his cell. His body full of blood and bruises. The drugs getting more intense as the days go by. He leans against the wall on the floor. Ready to give up...suddenly there is a bright light that enters the room. He covers his eyes with his hand as the light glows on him. He finally moves his hand down and Glory and Miss Liberty are standing there and he can't believe it.))
Captain Freedom: “Girls? How are you here?”
Miss Liberty: “Hello Captain...”
Captain Freedom: “I can’t...I can’t do this anymore. I can't fight any longer.”
Glory: “Yes, you can.... you have to.”
Captain Freedom: “Help me...I need you. Please....”
Miss Liberty: “If you tell 'them' anything....'they'll' come after us.”
((Suddenly we hear a loud siren. Captain closes his eyes in pain and opens them again. As his eyes open Glory and Miss Liberty are gone from the room. He looks around for them.))
Captain Freedom: “Li....Li Liberty....Glory…Come back......please.......COME BACK!!”

Women’s Championship
Nakano vs Maxine Rush
The cameras return ringside as it's time to call the next match.
Rick Henderson: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it's for the ICW Women's World Championship, first making her way to the ring from Los Angeles, California, she is the challenger Maxine Rush!!!
Paparazzi by Jim Johnston plays over the arena as Evan Rush leads his sister Maxine Rush out to the ring.
Maxine walks ahead of Evan as she climbs to the ring apron where she is met by Amanda Saints and Melissa Hall.
The three of them then bounce on the ropes as Amanda and Melissa help Maxine into the ring.
Maxine exchanges kisses with both Amanda and Melissa before they leave the ring as Maxine waits for her opponent.
Evan is shown giving Maxine some last minute advice before the match begins.
Harley Meisner: Maxine looks ready to beat Nakano here tonight and become the new champion.
Sara Butler: Maxine will have to do everything in her power if she hopes to win here tonight.
George Sullivan: It's not going to be an easy match for Maxine so I hope she's ready to do whatever it takes to get the win.
Rick Henderson: And her opponent from Osaka, Japan; she is the current reigning and defending ICW Women's World Champion. She is Nakano!!!
Minute plays over the arena as Nakano comes onto the stage looking serious and without stopping, she walks down to the ring, climbs through the ropes, then goes to the corner to await the start of the match.
Harley Meisner: Nakano looks undefeated as she makes her way to the ring.
Sara Butler: She's going to take Maxine to the limit here tonight.
George Sullivan: Nakano is looking to make quick work of Maxine here tonight.
Rick Henderson exits the ring as Maxine and Nakano lock up in a test of strength in the middle of the ring with Nakano overpowers Maxine and threw her into one of the corners.
Nakano then uses her long limbs to punish Maxine in the corner until the referee comes in between the two women and breaks them up.
Maxine uses her speed to quickly get behind Nakano for a German Suplex but Nakano easily stops this with repeated elbows to the neck and head area of Maxine causing her to break the grip of the German Suplex.
Harley Meisner: It's too early for Maxine to go for any kind of big impactful move on Nakano.
Sara Butler: Sometimes I think Maxine does things like that to just piss off Nakano rather than actually try to do it.
George Sullivan: Maxine needs to rain focused on the bigger picture of winning the championship rather than just trying to do a power move.
Nakano picks up Maxine back to her feet and then connects with the Nenbutsu Powerbomb as the referee counts the three counts.
The referee raises Nakano's arm to signify that she's the winner of the match before Nakano gets back her ICW Women's World Championship.
Nakano exits the ring as medical staff comes out to check on Maxine Rush as Nakano makes her way up the entrance ramp and heads back to her locker room. Maxine is stretchered out of the arena.
Winner: Nakano

Monster’s Ball Match
Mayhem Championship
Lord Raab vs Alexis Makarios
Rick Henderson: The following contest is a Monster’s Ball match and it is for the Mayhem championship!
The Hanged man by Nathan James hits the arena and Jack Edwards walks onto the stage, then heads down the ramp to the ring. He stands in the corner at ringside.
Sara Butler: Jack Edwards is out here tonight in support of Alexis Makarios for this match.
(The lights dim as the opening chords of “I like it heavy” by Halestorm hit. Strobe lights start to flash at the top of the ramp as Alexis Makarios comes out from behind the curtain and stops at the top of the ramp. The arena fills with a chorus of “FIRECRACKER”. She smiles big as she looks around, taking it all in.)
Rick Henderson: Introducing first the challenger, from Sydney Australia, weighing 130 lbs, she is the Aussie Firecracker…. ALEXIS MAKARIOS!!
(The lights brighten back up as Alexis starts making her way down the ramp, high fiving fans as she goes. Once she gets to the bottom of the ramp she stops and motions for the fans to keep going. As they do, she slides into the ring under the bottom rope and hops to her feet. She goes to a corner and hops up on the ropes posing for the fans. She hops down and goes to the opposite corner and does the same. She then goes to the middle as she awaits the referee.)
George Sullivan: Man, Alexis looks very angry already and the match hasn’t even begun yet!
Harley Meisner: I think being locked in that room for the last 24 hours has taken a bad effect on Alexis and now Lord Raab will have to deal with that.
Rick Henderson: And her opponent, from Cologne, Germany, weighing 260 lbs, he is the Mayhem champion. LORD RAAB!!
“Monster” by Skillet hits the arena and here comes Lord Raab out onto the stage. He stops for a moment, then with a serious face comes down the ramp to the ring. He climb onto the apron and gets into the ring.
Sara Butler: Lord Raab looks like he is ready for this brutal match and he looks like he is in full monster mode!
The bell rings!
Raab and Alexis immediately go after each other with punches!! Alexis is not holding back!! They quickly lock up in a violent test of strength with Raab getting the upper hand and backs Alexis into one of the corners!!
Raab hits Alexis hard with repeated knee strikes to the midsection!! He smirks and pulls her out of the corner and hits a snap suplex!
This of course does not keep Alexis down. She gets back up and goes after Raab once again!! They lock up again, only this time Alexis transitions it into a vicious Armbar as she cranks up the pressure on the hold!!
Harley Meisner: Alexis is full of aggression tonight!! The fierce firecracker wants to fight tonight!!
Sara Butler: But Raab is one tough monster, and I’m sure he knew that Alexis would show up here tonight looking for one hell of a fight.
George Sullivan: Alexis wants to not only make Raab pay for his past comments about Eddie Lopez Jr, but she also wants to become Mayhem champion.
Sara Butler: That would be great payback!
Raab is struggling to get himself to the ropes as Alexis pulls him back to the center of the ring!! At the last minute Raab is able to reverse the pressure onto Alexis, but she is finally is able to break free of the hold!
Raab is shaking some feeling back into his arm as Alexis runs at him, knocking him down with a Sling Blade!! Raab rolls out of the ring to catch his breathe and to stop the momentum of Alexis!! Alexis runs through the ropes and connects with a Suicide Dive onto Raab on the arena floor!!!
George Sullivan: These two are now outside the ring and that’s not gonna be good!
Harley Meisner: I think things are about to get out of control and fast!
With Raab down on the floor, Alexis grins and then pulls back the apron. She starts looking under the ring and then finds herself a baseball bat twined with barbed wire!!!
Harley Meisner: Oh my God!! Is that a BASEBALL BAT COVERED IN BARBED WIRE??!!
Sara Butler: It sure is and that is dangerous in the hands of one Alexis Makarios in the crazy mental state she is in right now!!
George Sullivan: Raab needs to find a way to stop Alexis from using this bat on him!!
Alexis is quick to start bashing Raab’s head and back with the bat!! He falls back to the floor in agony!!
Alexis yells at Raab!!
Alexis Makarios: YOUR BIGGEST MISTAKE WAS TALKING SHIT ABOUT MY FAMILY!!!
Jack Edwards is here at ringside and is smiling and loving this!
After a few more good shots with the barbed wire bat across Raab’s back, Alexis throws the bat down in a rage, then gets Raab up and lunges him into the steel steps!!
There is blood coming down Raab’s face!
George Sullivan: These Mayhem matches are so hard to stomach!
As Alexis comes at Raab, Raab is ready for her and fights back by suddenly lifting the steel steps and smashing her across the face with them!! Alexis falls hard to the floor!!
Harley Meisner: Oh no...The game has changed now!!
Sara Butler: Raab is in control! This isn’t good at all for Alexis!!
Raab now pulls up the apron and looks to see what goodies are under there at his disposal. He starts to grin, then pulls out a big 18 inch steel machete!!!
George Sullivan: HOLY SHIT!! IS THAT A MACHETE???!!!
Sara Butler: More bloodshed is about to happen!
Raab charges at Alexis with the machete in his hand and takes a swing at her, but she moves her body out of the way!! But he takes another swing and this time he gets her good!! He slashes a deep cut into her leg!! He swings with the machete again and slashes a deep cut into her upper arm!!
Alexis gets to her feet and starts to try and fight the machete away from Raab!! The two are now struggling in a test of strength over who gets the damn machete!!
Jack Edwards looks on a short distance away with a concerned look on his face.
Alexis kicks Raab repeatedly in the ribs and he loses his grasp on the machete!! Alexis now plans to have herself some fun with it, she takes a swing at Raab, but he ducks out of the way in time!! He kicks her wrist, forcing the machete to go flying out of her hand!!
Raab grabs Alexis and lunges her into the barricade head first!! She falls to the floor and now has to deal with the cuts on her leg and her arm. Raab is dealing with the large gash on his head from those hits from the barbed wire bat Alexis gave him earlier in the match.
Sara Butler: Both of them are losing so much blood now!!
Harley Meisner: One of them, if not both, could pass out at any time now!
Alexis is limping now as she tries to get to her feet to keep up the fight!!
Raab is stumbling and is unsteady on his feet, but comes at her and clobbers her good with a few hard forearms across the back!! She answers back with punches to the face as she is fighting through the intense pain from the deep cut on her leg and arm!
Sara Butler: There is just no quit in Alexis!
George Sullivan: You can say that again!
Alexis grabs Raab and smashes his head TEN TIMES into the steel ring post!! This causing the cut on his head to bleed even more!!
But Raab is in full monster mode and desperate times still do not keep this man down!!
Raab picks up Alexis and nails her with a powerbomb back first right across the barricade!!! She crumbles to the floor!! He makes the cover....
1....
2.....
Alexis kicks out!
Raab gets to his feet and now goes and pulls up the apron and he pulls out a sledgehammer!!
Sara Butler: Just what we don’t need in this match! Another weapon to do more damage than what’s already been done!!
Raab comes at Alexis and hits her on the leg right over the deep cut with the sledgehammer!! Alexis is in real pain by this time!! Raab goes to hit her again, but she does not allow him that!! She raises her leg up and kicks his wrist, causing the sledgehammer to go flying from his hand!!
George Sullivan: Alexis is a fast thinker!
Harley Meisner: She got herself out of that one!
Alexis is quick to grab the sledgehammer from the floor and she charges at Raab with it, takes a swing and nails him over the head with it!! He falls backwards against the barricade!! She hits him again right into his ribs a few times with the head of the hammer!! Then she turns it around and nails his ribs repeatedly with the end of the handle!!
Raab is holding his ribs now and is now having great difficulty breathing!! He is taking a few steps away from Alexis to gain himself some space for a moment, but she is right after him!!
Sara Butler: I think Alexis knows that she can really capitalize now on the fact that Raab is really having a hard time breathing.
George Sullivan: She’s probably broken some of his ribs now! He’s in big trouble!
Both of them are now one hell of a bloody mess!! Raab tries to put up a counter attack on her, but it doesn’t do much good for him.
Alexis grabs Raab and gets him back into the ring!! She sets him up and then she quickly hits Greetings From Australia!! She makes the cover!!
1...
2...
3!!!
The fans cheer as does Jack Edwards!!
Rick Henderson: Here is your winner, and the NNNEEEWWW MAYHEM CHAMPION.....ALEXIS MAKARIOS!!!
A very bloody Alexis is handed the Mayhem championship and she slowly gets to her feet and raises it high in the air!!
George Sullivan: Man, this one was a fight of the ages between these two! I didn’t think this was ever gonna end!
Sara Butler: It could have gone on all night, but I’m glad it didn’t, otherwise we would have needed two body bags!
Alexis, accompanied by Jack Edwards, slowly make their way up the ramp and into the back.

#1 Contendership To The World Heavyweight Championship
3 Stages of Hell Match
Jennifer Makarios-Lopez vs Gracie Lopez
(Hey you" by Disturbed starts playing on the PA systems, Jenn makes her way from the back. She stands on the stage for a few seconds with a smile on her face, looking over the crowd. She starts walking down the ramp with confidence. While doing so, she high-fives a few fans that are sitting in the front row, and people that are stretching their arms for a high five. She climbs into the ring and waits and talks to Jasmine)
Rick Henderson: The following contest is a 3 stages of hell match, winner faces the world champion in the future! First in the ring, Jenn Makarios-Lopez!
(Distrubed’s “Feeding the fire” starts to play in the arena as flames start shooting from the stage and around the LED board, “dancing” to the beat of the song. Gracie steps out on stage as the flames get higher, and she looks like a badass walking through those flames, she walks down the ramp high high-fiving the fans along the first row before stopping, she looks at Jenn dead in the eyes. Gracie has Brooklyn on her side here tonight since her brother is out on his honeymoon and asked for Brooklyn to be here.)
Rick Henderson: The challenger, Gracie Lopez!
George Sullivan: I don’t think we have time to talk, but Gracie looks focused here….
(Before the bell rings Jenn and Gracie come to blows, the ref tries to get in the middle of it but gets shoved down by Jenn. He gets up on his feet and there’s nothing he can do since the bell never rang, instead of trying to separate them like he foolishly tried before, he rings the bell to start the match and stands away from them. The pace is fast paced between the two of them, Jenn thought she had Gracie cornered but Gracie already starts using that ring to her advantage by flying around.)
George Sullivan: Every time I look above my head, I get a chill running down my spine when i see that Cell up there.
Harley Meisner: I hope it doesn’t come down to that for their sake, but this has been a year in the making, so it’s hard to tell.
Sara Butler: That’s true.
(Gracie goes for a leapfrog but Jenn catches her and drops her throat first across the top rope, and with that she keeps the high flyer grounded for as long as she can but she knows that once Gracie gets up on her feet, she starts flying around the ring again. This time, Jenn keeps up as she starts to pull out some high-flying moves of her own!
George Sullivan: Where did Jenn get these moves from!?
Harley Mesiner: You realize who’s in the ring with her? It’s no secret they train together, I’m sure she picked up high-flying moves along the way. And she’s showing them off here and showing that she can do them too.
(Gracie rolls to the outside to get away from Jenn’s high-flying offense but it doesn’t last long as Jenn follows her to the outside. Jenn grabs Gracie by the and throws her into the steps at ringside, Gracie crashes knees first into them before flipping over them. Like a shark smelling blood, she starts to target Gracie’s leg, the right one that’s surgically repaired. Jenn rolls Gracie into the ring but pulls her leg towards the ring post before wrapping it around it, not once but twice!)
George Sullivan: Oh god Jenn is going after that knee, everyone knows that knee is the weak spot since Gracie just came back from repairing it.
Harley Meisner: I feel like it’s a matter of time before the first fall is Jenn’s, there’s no way Gracie will allow this to go on.
Sara Butler: We all know Gracie won’t give up that easily, if you do then you haven’t been paying attention to her career very much. She’s the most resilient person on this roster.
(Jenn slithers back into the ring like a snake, grabs Gracie’s leg again and she tries to remove the knee brace! Gracie manages to kick her off with the good leg, but Jenn doesn’t let it go, she keeps trying to go after that leg but Gracie keeps fighting her off. They start fighting by the near side corner and Jenn has Gracie backed up into the corner but Gracie fights off with a large punch towards her chin that makes her stagger. Gracie hits a flying clothesline from the corner, and both women are down for a moment.)
George Sullivan: Jenn is clearly after that leg and it’s gonna be a long night at the office for Gracie if this keeps happening.
Harley Meinser: Well, weaken the leg and hook a submission hold in, that’s a good way to pick up the first pinfall here. Plus after all, Jenn was in the hospital room after Grace’s surgery, so of course she knows the target, she’s the one who did it.
(Gracie was the first to get up but Jenn soon followed, Jenn charges towards Gracie, and her weakened knee hit a massive chopstick on it, and started attacking it even more. After a few elbow drops to the knee, Jenn hooks in the figure four on Gracie in the middle of the ring! Gracie stays in the hold for a little while with Jenn using the ropes to her advantage behind the ref’s back, but Gracie refuses to tap out! She starts to reverse the pressure onto Jenn’s legs by rotating to her stomach, Jenn breaks the hold almost immediately. She rolls out the ring to get a breather.)
George Sullivan: Gracie wouldn’t give up there, she knows what this match means to her.
Harley Meisner: And Jenn doesn’t? Gracie has been a world champion before, but Jenn hasn’t. Jenn will do anything she has to to prove herself even if that means breaking her daughter’s legs in the process.
(The hiatus that Jenn wanted didn’t last long as Gracie dives through the ropes with a suicide dive and both of them crash into the barricade at ringside, Gracie quickly rolls Jenn back into the ring and tries to go for a submission hold but Jenn fights out of an attempted ankle lock…. They start counter after counter on submission holds because they know they can’t tire out too quickly with another match ahead of them.)
George Sullivan: These two may not be submission specialists but they’re showing enough to impress the crowd here tonight.
Harley Meisner: You could have fooled me!
(Jenn tries to hook in another submission hold but Gracie catches her and hooks in something that resembles a yes lock that a famous wrestler uses, Jenn desperately tries to get to the ropes and when she finds that it’s no use, she taps!)
George Sullivan: Wow!
Harley Meisner: She knew there were matches in this so she wanted to save some energy.
Sara Butler: I’ve never seen Gracie use that move before, that was an interesting take on it….
Harley Mesiner: How long will the break between matches be?
Winner: Gracie Lopez
(There are no breaks in war, and Gracie has proven that. She yells at the ref to ring the bell to start the street fight and the ref does. Gracie grabs Jenn by the hair throwing her to the outside, and here’s where they start to battle. Gracie throws Jenn into the ring steps, before looking Jasmine in the eyes. Jasmine returns the gaze of the eyes but doesn’t do anything about it, even though she can but she’s waiting for her time to strike. Brooklyn slowly creeps around the corner of the ring, ensuring Jasmine stays put.)
George Sullivan: I don’t think we've seen the last of these 2 yet…
Harley Mesiner: I’m sure you’re right, Jasmine is the one who attacked Gracie from behind a couple of weeks ago, so you know Gracie wants to get her hands on her too.
Sara Butler: That’ll be a dumb mistake! Keep focused on the main task.
(Gracie grabs a chair at ringside and slams it on the back of Jenn’s back! Jenn crawls away in pain from the chair attack and tries to escape the ringside area but to no use, as Gracie stalks her. They start fighting in the crowd, ALL around the arena before making it towards the staging area where Jenn finally gets the advantage after beating up, she rakes the eyes of Gracie before throwing her face first into the side of the LED screen, she lifts Gracie up for a suplex on the stage! Gracie makes a hard thud noise when she lands on the steel flooring)
George Sullivan: Was that Gracie’s back or the stage?
Harley Meisner: Both.
(Jenn rolls Gracie down the ramp by force. Once at ringside, Jenn grabs a chair and clocks Gracie across the head with it leaving a mark on the chair as well as busting Gracie open. Jenn starts showing her vicious side by slamming the chair down on multiple parts of Gracie’s body, from the head to the back to the legs to the ankles. She goes for the pin.)
1………….
(Gracie kicks out at the 1 count. After the pin, Jenn rolls to the outside of the ring and starts cleaning off the announce table, almost like she has bad intentions here, she grabs Gracie’s foot pulling her out of the ring but Gracie fights back! But was short-lived as Jenn throws Gracie face first into the ring post. She goes back to the announce table and grabs something from under it, and it’s a barbed wire baseball bat!)
Harley Meisner: What the hell is that!? Why did you hide that here!?
George Sullivan: Because that’s how we settle feuds in the Sulivan household….What do you mean why did I hide that!? I didn’t know it was there!
Harley Meisner: I feel hurt by your sarcasm….
(With the barbed wire bat in hand, Jenn stands over the bloody Gracie with the bat raised high above her head, but Gracie kicks the leg out from under Jenn, Jenn drops the bat and Gracie slithers towards it. She has it in her head, and she goes to swing it but Jasmine hits a running chopblock to the back of Gracie’s leg, knocking her to the ground. Jasmine stands there proud of herself but Brooklyn comes in like a bat outta hell and knocks Jasmine to the ground and the both of them start fighting as well! The ref looks at the chaos at ringside and there’s nothing he can do about it)
George Sullivan: Oh god! Now we have a 4-way battle here, somehow this street fight turned into a tornado tag match without the tag!
Harley Meisner: These girls shouldn’t even be here anyway, but let them fight!
(Jasmine and Brooklyn start fighting up the crowd before disappearing into the darkness. Meanwhile, Jenn is still on the offense throwing Gracie on the announce table, she goes for a piledriver but Gracie flips Jenn off the table with a very high back body drop. Jenn lands on the floor with a loud splat, and yelps in pain. Both girls crawl towards the ring, since this match is starting to take it’s toll on them but they still have a long night ahead of them. Jenn rolls into the ring and Gracie does as well. They lock eyes with each other on the mat before standing up at the same time, not letting the eye contact between them go. Jenn charges at Gracie but she superkicks Jenn and goes for the pin.)
1………..

(Jenn kicks out but Gracie goes for another cover)

2……….
(Jenn again kicks out but Gracie stays on the attack, she shoots Jenn off the ropes and goes for a float over DDT but Jenn counters it into a spinebuster onto the chair! Jenn goes for the cover)
1…….
2………
(Gracie kicks out. After these close pinfalls between them, they lay on the mat for a minute to breathe before standing up. Jenn is the first one up and sits up a pile of chairs by the corner, she drags Gracie by the hair and hoists her up on the top rope, Jenn climbs the ropes and then the unthinkable happens. Jenn hits a spanish fly on Gracie onto the pile of chairs! Both girls land on the chairs screaming in pain)
George Sullivan: This has to be it! It has to be!
Harley Meisner: All this to have the right to face the world champion, I’ve never seen anything like this before, their bodies have to be screaming in pain
(Jenn crawls to Gracie and draps an arm over her.)

Thre….
(Gracie kicks out! Jenn looks flabbergasted as Gracie kicks out, she’s trying to figure out how to take care of this problem as she rolls outside. She lifts the ring skirt and pulls out a garbage can, she yells)
Jenn: This ends now!
(She drags Gracie to the corner of the ring, and places the trash can on her head. Jenn looks back for a moment before climbing the ropes again, once on the top rope she stands there for a moment before shrugging her shoulders, she leaps from the top rope and gets met with a superkick half way through by Gracie!)
George Sullivan: Did Jenn….
Harley Meisner: She tried to do the coast-to-coast and she got laid out by the superkick!
(Gracie goes for a cover.)

(Jenn kicks out, barely kicks out but kicks out. Gracie tries to go for another superkick after getting back up to her feet but Jenn ducks it, she grabs a chair and smacks Gracie across the head with it before hitting her finisher, on the chair!)

Winner: Jenn Makarios-Lopez
The match is tied at 1.
Hell In a Cell
(The cell starts to lower around the ring as we can carnage from the street fight littered around ringside with a wide shot view, it looks like a tornado went through Japan.)
George Sullivan: Oh god, now the cell is starting to lower, how much do these guys have left? They’ve been wrestling for 35 minutes.
Harley Meisner: As long as it takes I guess, I don’t know. A normal street fight takes a lot out of people and these two are not normal.
Sara Butler: I don’t wanna see more, they’ve proven a point already, how much more can they take?
George Sullivan: I have no idea but what a fitting chapter to end like this, inside of a hell in a cell for these two.
(The bell rings for the match to begin but both girls remain on the mat until Jenn starts to get to her feet, she stumbles towards Gracie picking her up. She tries to end the match there but Gracie starts to fight back! But a knee to the gut shuts that down quickly. She kicks Gracie outside before following. Jenn grabs Gracie by the arm and throws her into the wall of the cell. Gracie bounces off of it and gets greeted with a clothesline by Jenn at ringside, Jenn uses the ring to keep herself standing, Jenn grabs the barbed wire bat that’s still at ringside and starts digging it into Gracie’s head!)
George Sullivan: That damn thing is still here?!
Harley Meisner: You had it stashed under the table, it’s your fault!
(Gracie gets out of it by ramming Jenn into the ring post and the blood from her head starts flowing again, but the tide starts to turn in this match as Gracie starts to get on her feet. She grabs a chair and swings it as hard she can and a loud thunderous thud could be heard as the chair connects with Jenn’s head! Jenn slumps to the floor, busted open like a stuffed pig, and bleeding all over.)
George Sullivan: Oh god! Gracie just hit a home run with Jenn’s head!
Harley Meisner: Ohtani must be impressed!
(Gracie grabs the barbed wire bat now, and Jenn through her bloody eyes, sees this and starts backing away until she hits the wall of the cell, she knows she’s trapped like a rat but tries to find a way out anyway, as Gracie gets slower with that bat, Jenn tries to kick her away and throwing stuff at her but like a bad guy in a movie, Gracie keeps stalking her. She finally got her hands on Jenn and starts grinding that barbed wire bat across her head opening her up even more!)
George Sullivan: Dear god!
Harley Meisner: Oh no! The ref has got to do something about this!
(Gracie throws the bat away after doing that to Jenn. She grew a wicked smile on her face afterwards almost like she got a demented feeling from watching Jenn bleed like she is. Gracie looks at the steps before she picks it up, she chucks it towards Jenn but she rolls out of the way. The steps leave a hole in the wall of the cell and Gracie inspects the hole before climbing out of it! Gracie looks up at the cell towards the roof and gets an idea.)
George Sullivan: Don’t tell me she’s thinking about going up there! A lot of dangerous things happen when people go up there…..
Harley Meisner: I hate to say you’re right but dammit, I think this match has gone too far!
(Gracie grabs the cage before she starts climbing up! Jenn soon follows her, and eventually, both of them are on the roof of the cage fighting. So far the roof is holding strong but for how long though, Gracie back body drops Jenn onto one of the panels, it bends but doesn’t break….The fans who have been into the match the entire way start gasping with every move they make, they know…they know something could happen because it always does. Jenn and Gracie start fighting towards the edge!)
George Sullivan: I don’t like this!
Harley Meisner: I think I’m going to move because if they fall this entire table will explode….
(Gracie is the one who starts stumbling but she keeps her footing for now, but she falls to her knees on the cell anyway to make sure she doesn’t fall off of the damn thing, but Jenn kicks her in the ribs. Jenn tries to grab Gracie but Gracie hits her hard in the stomach that backs Jenn up. Gracie swings her legs over the cage and thinks better of being on the top and starts to climb down….but…. Jenn sees this and sees that Gracie’s hands are still on the top of the cage so she stomps on Gracie’s hands! One more stomp of the hands sends Gracie off the cage and flying through the air! She comes crashing through the announce table at ringside)
George Sullivan: GOOD GOD! THIS MATCH IS OVER, THERE’S NO WAY GRACIE CAN SURVIVE THAT!
Harley Meisner: I told you! Something like this always happens in matches like this and this time we have Gracie at our feet, look at Jenn tho! She has a smile on her face, that BITCH HAS A SMILE ON HER FACE!
(The EMTs start coming out to check on Gracie, and her father Eddie Lopez Sr comes out as well but Gracie refuses to give up, she refuses to let the match end like this so she’s fighting the EMTs and then she shoves her father into the cell wall! All this is happening as Jenn slowly makes her way down the cell, and see’s that Gracie won’t give up so they start fighting again, but the blows are not connecting with the same power as earlier, so they’re tired, they’re beaten and in the case of Gracie, broken.)
George Sullivan: Gracie isn’t stopping! She doesn’t want the match to be stopped! Damn her! Damn her and her passion, her passion is gonna get her career ended early!
Harley Meisner: It’s part of the family, it’s who they are, they don’t quit. I mean look at her grandfather, he wrestled part-time after his major heart attack….
(They make their way back to the ring, the blood-soaked canvas painted with their blood. Jenn rolls Gracie back into the ring and pulls something from under the ring, it’s the same object that knocked Lord Raab out, the loaded nunchuck! Jenn waits for Gracie to get up, but gracie has the bat in her hand, and they both swing at each other at the same time! Both girls fall, but Jenn’s hand falls on Gracie’s shoulder the ref sees this and counts.)
1………..
2………..
3!
George Sullivan: Jenn is the new number-one contender for the world title! WOW!
Harley Meisner: She doesn’t look like a winner right now, since she went through war. I NEVER ever want to hear anybody say that these two can’t do matches like this, they proved they can and the family feud between them has finally ended.
Sara Butler: Let’s hope for their sake this is over…
(The EMTs who were at ringside to help Gracie enter the ring to help both of them, including Eddie Sr who got busted open from when his daughter shoved him in the cage. The cage starts to rise but the carnage and destruction these two caused remain around ringside, it looks like war, it feels like war, it smells like war, because it was war. Jenn and Gracie slowly rise to their feet and stare at each other, and walk towards each other… they share a hug in the middle of the ring before Gracie whispers something in Jenn’s ear)
George Sullivan: They’re back on the same page again! That hug means the feud is finally over.
Winner: Jenn Makarios-Lopez

World Tag Team Championship
The Outsiders vs John Blade & Baretta Blade
The show returns ringside as Rick Henderson is ready to call the next match.
Rick Henderson: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it's for the ICW World Tag Team Championships, first making their way to the ring from Boston, Massachusetts; they are the challengers John Blade and Baretta Blade!
The Time is now hits as John Blade and his daughter Baretta Blade walk out on stage. John talks to the camera man and bounces a little. He holds up his “Never Give Up” logo flag and tosses it to the fans. He salutes and runs straight down towards the ring. He bounces off the ropes side to side and he holds up his “Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect” shirt. He takes off his hat and tosses his shirt to the fans and hands his Chain to the ref to begin to fight. Baretta is following behind her father as she makes her way out to the ring.
Harley Meisner: John and Baretta look ready to beat the current champions and become the new ICW World Tag Team Champions.
Sara Butler: John and Baretta are going to have to do more than any other team before if they want to wrestle the championship titles away from Punk Saints.
George Sullivan: The Blades will have to be able to keep Punk Saints on their toes if they want to leave Osaka, Japan as the new champions.
Rick Henderson: And their opponent representing The Outsiders, from San Diego, California and Chicago, Illinois respectively; they are the current reigning and defending ICW World Tag Team Champions Punk Saints...Robert Saints and Chris Punk!!!
Rockhouse by Frank Shelley plays over the arena as Robert Saints and Chris Punk make their way out onto the entrance ramp as they enter the ring.
Robert and John start the match for their respective tag teams as they lock up in a test of strength. Robert and John keep pushing each other until they're finally into one of the corners and the referee separates them.
John bounces off the ropes and knocks Robert down with a shoulder tackle and another one and finally a third one. Robert rolls out of the ring to catch a breather but John doesn't allow this to happen for too long as he joins Robert out there and throws him back into the ring.
Robert springs back up to his feet and connects with a Superkick to the face of John as he is coming back into the ring. Robert then continues stomping away at John as he struggles to get back up to his feet.
Harley Meisner: Robert is putting the boots to John as this match has just begun.
Sara Butler: John needs to regroup if he wants to win this match for his team.
George Sullivan: The match is far from over as John can still get back into this match.
John grabs Robert and connects with a Suplex. And then finally goes for the five knuckle shuffle to Robert. John then goes for the cover but Robert kicks out after a long two counts.
Robert rolls over to his side of the ring and tags out to Chris who then enters the ring and attacks John before he can tag in his daughter Baretta. Baretta looks very worried as she holds the tag rope waiting for the tag.
Chris and John lock up in the middle of the ring as Chris turns it into an Overhead Belly to Belly Suplex. Chris then picks up John by his collar and taunts him in his face as he's close to his daughter Baretta but not close enough to tag her in.
Harley Meisner: Punk Saints is dominating The Blades as this match continues.
Sara Butler: John needs to regroup if he wants to win this match.
George Sullivan: The Blades really need to keep the pressure on Punk Saints if they want to win here tonight.
Robert comes off the ropes and looks under the ring and finds a pair of handcuffs. Robert then climbs back onto the ring apron as he shows John the pair of handcuffs in his possession.
John can only look on as Robert walks around the ring and then grabs the arm of Baretta and handcuffs her to the ropes so that way that she can't be in any way to get the tag in.
Chris is holding down John as he looks on as Robert connects with a Viper Cutter onto Baretta right in front of John's eyes. This makes John mad as he gets out of the clutch of Chris and knocks Robert down off the ring apron.
Harley Meisner: Do you see the fire in the eyes of John? He's more than ready to put Punk Saints away.
Sara Butler: Punk Saints has lit a fire under John that they didn't want to do.
George Sullivan: This has practically become a handicap match so I don't see any way that John is going to win this match.
Robert falls off the apron and then John grabs Chris and then connects with the Attitude Adjustment and goes for the cover as the referee counts the three counts.
Medical staff comes out to the ring and cuts the handcuffs off the arm of Baretta which frees her as she slides into the ring and picks up her half of the ICW World Tag Team Championships.
Robert and Chris are now on the top of the entrance ramp as they look one last time at the ring where now John and Baretta are wearing the tag team championships around their waists.
Robert and Chris exit to the backstage area as the show heads backstage.
Winner: John Blade and Baretta Blade wins by Pinfall!!

Freedom Fighters(c) vs Storm Sisters
Women's Tag Team Championship
Rick Henderson: The following contest is a women's tag team match, and it is for the ICW Women’s Tag Team Championship.
Elizabeth Storm walks out onto the entrance ramp as the smoke and pyros begin to come up, she stops. Posing for the fans a little bit, until she steps forward through the smoke. She then begins to high five the fans on the rest of her way down to the ring. She walks up the steps onto the ring apron, then climbs through the middle and top ropes into the center of the ring.
“Psychosocial” by Slipknot starts blaring as Serenity comes out onto the stage. Serenity kneels down on the stage lowering her head as if in a prayer. After a moment she stands up accompanied by pyros going off around her. She begins walking down the ramp way slowly eyeing the fans as she does so. The fans look at her as she passes, she ignores them as she finishes her way down to the ring. She walks up the steps before climbing onto the turnbuckle. Pyros shoot off once again. The music dies out with the sound of evil laughter coming from Serenity. She has an evil look in her eyes. She doesn’t care who she’ll hurt.
Rick Henderson: Introducing the Challengers. Who are in the ring they are Serenity and Elizabeth... the Storm Sisters!
'Born in the U.S.A.' hits the speakers as Glory & Miss Liberty step out from the back waving proudly their American Flags. The women then head down the ramp, slapping the fans hands before sliding in the ring. The women then climb each turnbuckles at the opposite side of the ring and do heroic pose as a large flag drops down from the rafters with red, white, and blue pyros going off everywhere.
Rick Henderson: Introducing the reigning defending ICW Women’s Tag Team Champions... the Freedom Fighters!
The referee holds up the Women’s Tag Team Championship belts as the graphic comes up as he calls for the bell to begin the match.
Serenity Storm and Liberty start the match taunting each other until Liberty catches Serenity off guard and slaps her then hits a short arm clothesline knocking Serenity down and follows it up with a snap suplex into an elbow drop to the chest and lifts her up only to be raked in the eyes by Serenity who tries rolling her up in a small package but Glory leaps in and stops the count only to be attacked by Elizabeth with a running clothesline knocking Glory over the top rope onto the outside as the two begin to brawl around the ring!

Back on the outside Elizabeth whips Glory into the steps and traps her left arm between the ring post and the steps and dropkicks it causing Glory to yell in pain!
Back in the ring Liberty sees what's going on and hits a flying cross body onto Elizabeth knocking her to the floor!
Liberty checks on Glory and helps her up only to get a running knee strike to the face by Elizabeth knocking her against the barricade with Elizabeth attempting a spear but Glory trips her and slams her head into the steps!
Harley Meisner: Smart move by Glory!
Serenity then slides out of the ring and joins the fight on the outside and grabs Glory's now injured arm and puts her in the cobra clutch!
Liberty then leaps from one side of the barricade to the other with a flying dropkick knocking Serenity over the barricade into the crowd.
Liberty rolls back into the ring to stop a count out and grabs Serenity and rolls her back into the ring and hits the Fireman Carry Knee Smash and sets her up for the Gory Neck breaker, but Elizabeth again stops this from happening by leaping into the ring and the Storm sisters double team Liberty.
At this point the referee has no control and is about to call for a DQ when Glory comes out of nowhere with a Springboard DDT on Elizabeth and drops her over the top rope, but Serenity turns Glory around and hits Serenity’s Nightmare!
Glory rolls out of the ring in pain.
As Serenity is smiling unknowing to her Liberty is back to her feet and hits the Fireman Carry Knee Smash into the Gory Neck Breaker and goes for the pin.

United States Championship
Floyd McCarver vs Darren Maddox
Rick Henderson: The following contest is for the United States Championship!
Rick Henderson: Introducing from Chicago Illinois, weighing 217, Darren Maddox!!
"The Second Coming" by CFO starts to play around the arena and Darren Maddox comes walking out from the back and stands on the stage looking out at the fans who are cheering for him. He makes his way down the ramp and climbs into the ring. He keeps a serious expression.
Rick Henderson: And from Tupelo, Mississippi, weighing 285 lbs, he is the United States Champion, Floyd McCarver!
Hard Hittin' by Homebwoi hits the arena and Floyd McCarver comes out from behind the curtains with a big smile on his face as he goes to the corner of the stage, looks out over the fans and points to a few of them, then makes his way down the entrance ramp, clapping hands with fans on both sides before hopping up on the apron of the ring, quickly getting into the ring, and going to each corner of the ring, hopping up on the middle turnbuckle and soaks in the cheers as he raises his hands above his head.
Sara Butler: Floyd looks ready tonight! But it's just a shame that it's come to this where he has to fight his own stepson Darren Maddox.
Harley Meisner: These two are no strangers to being at odds with each other.
The bell rings to start the match!
Darren and Floyd lock up violently in the middle of the ring! Floyd controls the match as well as he throws Darren into the ropes and uses his shoulders to knock him down! Darren looks up at Floyd before getting to his feet. Floyd is clearly not here to play games tonight.
George Sullivan: Floyd looks confident here.
Harley Meisner: Well he's gonna have to work hard in this match if he wants to retain the U.S title because Darren is very hard to defeat in any given match.
Darren gets up on his feet after being knocked down and gets right up in Floyd's face, yelling at him in anger, and they start throwing fists at each other! Darren's punches start to overpower Floyd's. Darren starts to gain momentum for the match and he throws Floyd up against the far side turnbuckles! Darren works over Floyd's midsection with strong shoulder strikes!
Sara Butler: That’s one way to overpower Floyd.
George Sullivan: Darren is looking to wear Floyd down.
Floyd starts fighting his way out of the corner, but it was unsuccessful. Darren stays on top of Floyd!
Sara Butler: Darren is obsessed with taking back the U.S title that he lost due to his son Maverick’s interference.
George Sullivan: And it’s put a knife through Darren and Floyd’s father-son relationship ever since.
Floyd doesn’t back down, he fights his way out of the corner and this time it is successful. He throws Darren into the ropes and hits a high swinging side slam! Floyd goes for a pin after that side slam!
1……
Darren kicks out!
Both men get to their feet and Darren grabs Floyd and throws him through the ropes and to the outside! Darren gets out of the ring and goes to Floyd and starts punching at his head!
Sara Butler: This match is going to get ugly now.
George Sullivan: Darren looks pissed off!
Harley Meisner: Darren has a right to be mad when you think about it. His own son has made his life a living hell for weeks now.
Floyd is trying to get away from Darren to gain some space to recover, but Darren doesn’t give him any space to get a breather. Darren picks up Floyd and throws him into the ringside barricade!!
Sara Butler: Oh my god, that had to hurt!
George Sullivan: That might have damaged Floyd now! This could be a game changer in Darren's favor.
Floyd bounces off the barricade and holds his lower back after the crash!
George Sullivan: Darren is not playing any games tonight. He wants that United States championship!
Harley Meisner: I’d hate to be in the ring with Darren. He's like a possessed man with a bad temper. That's never a healthy combination.
While outside, the ref is counting up towards 10. At the count of 8, Darren slides into the ring halfway, enough to break up the count before he goes back out to the outside.
Floyd meets up with a sharp chop right to Darren's throat! Floyd then slams Darren off the steel steps and leaves him on the floor as the referee starts the ten count! Floyd rolls back into the ring, hoping to not have to prolong this match against his own stepson any longer.
Harley Meisner: I feel bad for Floyd.
George Sullivan: I must admit, so do I. He’s a good man and he was thrown into the middle of the negativity between Darren and his teenage son Maverick.
Sara Butler: I think Floyd just wants to try hard to hold onto his title at this point, and let the rest of the chips fall where they may.
The count gets closer to the count of 10. Darren doesn’t move at first but towards the 8 count, Darren gets up to his feet and staggers, then dives into the ring just before the 10!!
George Sullivan: Darren made it back into the ring on time to save this match for himself!
Darren hits an enziguiri! This staggers Floyd to the corner. Darren comes charging at Floyd with a forearm smash! Floyd falls to the mat. Darren gets him back up, whips Floyd into the ropes and on the return hits a sling blade! Darren makes the cover attempt!

1...
2...
Floyd kicks out!!
George Sullivan: Floyd just kicked out of Darren’s finisher!!
Sara Butler: Amazing!
Darren can’t believe it! Can’t believe that Floyd kicked out of his finisher!
Darren quickly gets up and rushes back to the corner again and waits for Floyd to get to his feet! When he does, Darren hits the Random Act Of Violence again!!
Darren makes the cover!
1...
2...
3!!!
The bell rings!
Rick Henderson: Here is your winner, and the NNNEEEWWW United States Champion......DARREN MADDOX!!!
Sara Butler: Floyd did his absolute best tonight to hold onto the U.S title.
Harley Meisner: I think this is going to make things worse now between Darren and Floyd.
Darren is handed the title belt. He slowly walks over to Floyd who is still down on the mat. Darren looks down at Floyd....
Darren Maddox: This title is back with me now.....JUST AS IT SHOULD BE.
Darren Maddox: YOU’LL GET OVER IT.....
Darren leaves the ring and heads up the ramp and into the back. He is looking quite content with himself now that he has won back the United States championship.
Floyd remains in the ring looking very disappointed as the fans have a very mixed reaction, not knowing whether to be happy for Darren or sad for Floyd.

Sara Butler: Travis is getting frustrated now. You can see it on his face.
*Travis argues with the referee, but the referee is barely able to stand, much less argue with Travis. When Travis turns back around, he is met with a knee to the stomach by the pissed off Jackson, who then kicks him in the stomach and sets him up for the crucifix powerbomb, but Travis wiggles his way out of it, Jackson hits him with a Jack’s Super Punch, followed by another, Travis is wobbling around now, barely able to stay on his feet. Jackson then picks him up and hits him with a Kent Buster to devastating effect, but doesn’t pin him, instead picking him up and hitting him with Jack-Hammered, pinning him after an incredibly hard impact on the mat.*

*The cameras fade off the air as Jackson holds the belt above his head, a relieved smile on his face.*
